The Origin of Species challenged the beliefs of its time and questioned the deeply embedded religious theories. Darwin has presented his ideas about the evolution of man and other species through the law of survival of the fittest and natural selection. The book classified animal species into various categories. A revolutionary contribution to theoretical and scientific thought.

First published in 1859. This copy is a facsimile of the 1872 edition, the last edition to contain revisions by Darwin himself.
